So....can I ask my electrician for his phone number?

[TrafficJunkie]

Or is there an etiquette which means he's not allowed to do that sort of thing? :)

Placemarking and hoping he's single.

What is this electrician doing??!! Hurry up we're all waiting

darren a contractor

Come on sparky!!!

I've been following with interest OP because I worked for a contracting company that did most of its work for HAs. Funnily enough all of our electricians were hot.

Could be ages until he gets the message passed on, so don't get too worked up if you don't hear back from him today.

I'm sitting in my car here in France. It's hot and sunny and I'm following with empathy and enthusiasm!

ok - I really want to know what happens now... Did you find out his name from the office?!

Not heard yet!

darren thanks for the tip!

I would follow the great scripts you have been given, but I would first say "Hi Darren, I am very nervous as I have never done anything like this before. ....".

Good luck OP. This is my kind of thread!

Obviously swap the Darren part for his name (unless by chance that is his name).

This is so exciting OP! This happens all the time on tv and in daily life but to see it happen as it happens is thrilling Love your confidence. If only more people took the bull by the horns..

I'm so not usually confident so this is definitely a first for me!
DrMorbius yes I think a forewarning that I am a little nervous and a reassurance the I don't normally do these things is a good opener 😂

Aww gutted for you that you didn't get a chance to execute mumsnet's your fine plan. Still, fingers crossed he gives you a call now, and that he hasn't finished for the day already....

Traffic I hope he gets back to you soon, I imagine the suspense will be killing you Eeek!

The only guy I ever approached was years ago. He was a topless waiter in a bar, hot as. Anyway long and short of it he was attached, I had to leave the bar as I was so embarrassed.

Had someone pass me their number on a flight a few years ago on my way to Shanghai. Usually wouldn't entertain a passenger, anyway bumped into him later that evening and he had a Chinese prostitute hanging off his arm

Best of luck, can't wait to read the updates.

I'm crossing my fingers for you OP

Argh what time do they finish normally? 6? But like darren said, he may not even call today!

Eeek! The suspense continues!!

God. I hope he gets the message passed to him before he goes on annual leave...it'll be a bloody long week otherwise!

Traffic hopefully he'll get the message tomorrow.
He may even decide to just call round to see you instead of calling

As he's going on AL tomorrow do you have a back up plan if they get someone else to call?!?!

Eagerly following! Fingers crossed he calls and it all goes perfectly.

feelingmiffed hopefully they won't....when I asked her to give him a message she asked if there was a problem. I said no, I just needed to ask him a couple of questions about it...mso hopefully that'll put them off asking someone else.

If not; I'll just say "thanks for calling but I really need to speak to the guy who was here" or something. 😂
